Ingredients
1 large onion sliced
1 small coconut shredded coarsely
2 tsp. coriander seeds
1 tsp. cumin seeds
1 large garlic clove, peeled
15 red chilies (if you want you can use Green too)
2 cloves
1" cinnamon stick
5 – 7 pepper
1/2 tbsp. sesame seeds
1/2 tbsp. khus khus
5-6 cashews
1 tbsp. oil
Method
Roast dry masala in a dry pan.
When crisp, grind till coarsely crushed.
Heat oil, fry onions till light pink and tender.
Add all other ingredients, including crushed dry masalas.
Stir fry for 2 minutes.
Cool and grind with as little water as possible, to make a thick paste.
Without using water also you can prepare this. And that will be better.
Refrigerate, and use as required.
